  abstract = {{A}ssessing the impact of human activity on ecosystems often links local biodiversity to disturbances measured within the same locality. {H}owever, remote disturbances may also affect local biodiversity. {H}ere, we used environmental {DNA} metabarcoding to evaluate the relationships between vertebrate biodiversity (fish and mammals) and disturbance intensity in two {A}mazonian rivers. {M}easurements of anthropic disturbance -here forest cover losses- were made from the immediate vicinity of the biodiversity sampling sites to up to 90 km upstream. {T}he findings suggest that anthropization had a spatially extended impact on biodiversity. {F}orest cover losses of 22% in taxonomic and functional richness of both terrestrial and aquatic fauna. {T}his underscores the vulnerability of {A}mazonian biodiversity even to low anthropization levels. {T}he similar responses of aquatic and terrestrial fauna to remote disturbances indicate the need for cross-ecosystem conservation plans that consider the spatially extended effects of anthropization. {I}t is unclear how far the impact of deforestation can spread. {H}ere the authors analyse freshwater e{DNA} data along two rivers in the {A}mazon forest, and find that low levels of deforestation are linked to substantial reductions of fish and mammalian diversity downstream.},
